SOUNDIRON Imbibaphones｜Unique Wine Glass Percussion Instrument Library

Virtual Instrument Library Capturing the Crisp Resonance of Wine Glasses

SOUNDIRON Imbibaphones is a unique wine glass percussion virtual instrument library from Soundiron, sampled from real stemmed glasses, martini glasses, champagne flutes, and even accidentally broken glass, featuring a total of 823 24-bit/48kHz high-resolution samples. This sound library not only captures the crisp sounds of soft mallet strikes but also includes sustained resonant tones produced by fingers rubbing the rim of the glasses, providing highly creative sound material for music producers and sound designers.

Compared to glass sounds generated by traditional synthesizers, Imbibaphones offers unparalleled physical resonance and authentic dynamic details through deep sampling of various real wine glasses. It is not just a simple Kontakt instrument, but a powerful sound design tool with a rich array of built-in ambient textures and effects, capable of effortlessly enhancing film scores or serving as unique percussion instruments in experimental music.

Imbibaphones Core Sampling Technology & Features

Diverse Glass Instrument Sampling: Beyond traditional wine glasses, the library includes unique timbres from martini glasses, champagne flutes, and even shattered glass, providing rich creative material.
Dual Playing Technique Capture: Fully records two core playing techniques: "Soft Mallet Strikes" using soft rubber mallets and "Sustaining Finger Rubbed Notes" produced by fingers rubbing along the rim of the glass, recreating authentic performance dynamics.
Deep Dynamic Layers & Round-Robin Sampling: Some sounds feature up to 10 Round-Robin variations and 6 velocity layers, effectively preventing the "machine gun effect" and making continuous strikes sound more natural and realistic.
Modwheel Dynamic Intensity Control: For sustained resonant tones, three different rubbing speeds were recorded, allowing for smooth fade-in/fade-out transitions via the Modwheel slider, enabling expressive performances.
Rich Sound Design Content: In addition to the original samples, the library also includes a large number of atmospheres, pads, and special effect sounds processed from the original material, ready for immediate use.
Intuitive Kontakt Interface: Provides a complete Graphical User Interface (GUI), where all sound-shaping parameters (such as Swell, Attack, Filter, etc.) can be adjusted in real-time and mapped to DAW automation control.

Kontakt Engine Control Interface

Sound Shaping Controls: Provides comprehensive control over core parameters such as Swell, Attack, Release, Offset, Vibrato, Filter, Pitch (Coarse & Fine).
Adaptive LFO System: Built-in Low-Frequency Oscillator with selectable LFO waveforms, modulation targets, speed, intensity, and support for Tempo-Syncing with the host and fade-in time settings.
Multi-functional Filter: Offers 12 types of low-pass, high-pass, and special effect filters, assignable for modulation from various sources such as velocity, mod wheel, expression pedal, aftertouch, and keyboard position.
Customizable Arpeggiator: Built-in powerful arpeggiator with velocity table, arpeggiation direction, timing, swing, randomization, and note length controls.
Scale & Key Lock: Equipped with a key and scale lock system, allowing notes to be restricted to common scales for easier melodic creation and live performance.

Modular FX Rack

10 FX Slots: Provides 10 available effect slots, allowing users to freely arrange the effect chain order.
18 DSP Effect Modules: Includes 18 high-quality DSP effects such as classic Phaser, Flanger, Delay, Distortion, Amp/Cab simulation, Compressor, EQ, Rotator, and more.
Advanced Convolution Reverb: The Reverb effect features Soundiron's curated convolution reverb Impulse Responses (IRs), including 99 different real spaces (rooms, concert halls, churches) and 40 innovative custom FX impulses, capable of completely transforming sound characteristics.
Effect Chain Presets: Includes various factory-designed effect chain presets, allowing users to quickly recall and learn.
